Neohydro Technologies Corp. (NHYT) Trade Alert - NHYT Raises Fund to Complete Sales and Marketing Initiatives, Projects Profitability and Competitiveness
Neohydro Technologies Corp. (NHYT) shares slipped 35.71% Friday, to close at 18 cents. Neohydro Technologies operates as a service company for providing economical end-to-end water supply solutions for industrial clients globally. The company is the exclusive licensee for the worldwide industrial applications of the Neohydro and Brinecell technologies.
The company's 30 years of research and development has enabled Neohydro to bring a noninvasive, cost-efficient solution to industrial waste water management. By improving the way industrial water is treated, Neohydro will redefine the management, flexibility, efficiency and cost-effectiveness of industrial water supply.
The company is attempting to increase its customer base through advertising and marketing and aggressively promote all the products. Neohydro markets its licensed technology through trade shows, investment forums and through demonstrations in the field. The company is currently marketing the licensed technology in the U.S. and Canadian markets. It also promotes the licensed technology through its website at www.neohydrotech.com and through trade magazines and newspapers.
Neohydro recently announced it has raised $100,000 to meet its need for cash. This should allow the company to operate for three months. The company stated that if they obtain any purchase orders from its customers and if the purchase orders prove profitable, they will attempt to raise additional money through a subsequent private placement, public offering or through loans.
The company stated if it does not have enough money to complete its sales and marketing initiatives, it will have to find alternative sources, like a second public offering, a private placement of securities or loans from its officers or others.
To become profitable and competitive, the company said it must sell a sufficient number of its waste water and water treatment units to generate a profit. The company projects to manufacture and sell a sufficient number of these units in the coming months in order to operate profitably.
Neohydro Technologies' technology eliminates biological oxygen demand, algae, bacteria, viruses, fungus and many metals from the treated water, and prevents the spreading of salmonella, e-coli, MRSA, hepatitis and other diseases. The core of the electrolytic process is the Brinecell anode that combines three diverse metals (platinum, titanium, and niobium) to create a completely new generation electrode.
In chemistry and manufacturing, electrolysis is a method of separating chemically bonded elements and compounds by passing an electric current through them. It can be used to remove oxidative contaminates in water to eliminate environmental problems.
In October 2008, the company was awarded "Most Promising Energy & Clean Technology Company" at Rice Alliance Energy & Clean Technology Venture Forum. Neohydro Technologies was chosen by Rice Alliance Information Technology Advisory Board from nearly 60 competitors based on its elevator pitch presentations.
Neohydro uses its proprietary industrial water re-use and water treatment applications to provide purified water for agriculture irrigation, drinking water, municipal water, and other point-of-use water needs. The company believes its technology will perpetuate ethical and environmentally-sound business practices while substantially alleviating the growing water supply crisis.
In its recent chart, NHYT is trading within its Bollinger Bands, a normal condition signaling that the stock is neither overbought nor oversold relative to the recent price action. MACD reflects a weak bullish signal, with the indicator trending above the 9-day moving average signal line but still below the 0 level. MACD indicator must completely return above the 0 level to confirm upward momentum. With share prices hitting the stock's 52-week low of 17 cents November 21, a significant support level or buying entry point was established
Look at the chart go!!!!
I see Green.. so onward!
You never know green here might come your way:)
Hey guys why don't some of you guys come over to the new board STEC that Scovillez did such a good job creating and throw in a post just to give it boost

Yep.... we finally got away from the ding ding ding and took a bike ride to Gavleston where IKE ripped through and found a pub to relax at. You guys should see the Galveston area, IKE basically destroyed the whole island. We live 20 miles north of Galveston, we were very lucky to not experience what those poor unfortunate residents went through.
Thanks sidesh0wb0b, at least i don't think my posts will get deleted here....lol
Monk, i reedited my post to you.. lol
Same here, ding ding ding comes tomorrow morning. What's so funny is that at closing bell they are all clapping with the biggest smiles you have ever seen no matter how many points are down. So what kind of bonuses do you think they get for those big smiles they have to keep up...lol
I really should enjoy my weekends, but dang i keep hearing that bell in my head right now...lol
I left a post on the new board thanking him and i forgot i can PM now and i will..... Thanks again
Thanks for the new board Scovillez, great job. Hope investors notice the new board, should be no time at all for posts to start up.
Ben
Jen! Holy Moly, Thank you so much! We needed one and special thanks to Scovillez , Excellent job!
Morning back at ya skeballlarry, just testing the page and like monk says, can't wait for the morning bell,is bunches of fun I hate when the market is closed. And howdy Monk and you too Jen
Just testing the place......
Short and sweet as usual with me. Think everyone knows how to research news, but it seems that good news means crap with trading now days. I don't think siri is falling any lower and it's cheap enough to get a heck of alot of shares, buy as much as you can now and sell your position and make you some $$$$$ before "and it will happen" the big R/S. Because after the R/S, it's all down hill after that. The price will go back up before the R/S. Now for the shareholders that still own shares since it was up there with it's higher value, well there's nothing you can do about that except suck it in and take your losses, what's happened has happened and don't have a caronary over it like so many have "literally" I've been saying all this time someone is lining their pockets with the way the prices have been dropping. Shortys have taken advantage of siri in a big way, MMs and yes MEL!!!!!! Now when it comes to Mel, he has been questioned several times about his empty promises, even seen it myself on a live interview, this was a warning back then, but no.... like me and everyone else, i thought there was something promising about siri, i even thought it was going to see $15 or more ...... Look at the price now and remember the price back in the good ole days when stocks were profitable and not as volatile with a good company. Siri is not the only one having problems. Now is not a time to go long with any company, but figure out an angle to benefit yourself. That's why i have been day trading, and yes it has been rocket science the past few months so i don't keep loosing, loosing & loosing.
Very well said Jen, I've had faith in this company for years. But when a price drops drops drops & drops, well i think everyone gets my meaning ..... Oh my dear WOE is us and what to do.......
If this is in reference to the mg3 mobile phone, there is one very large problem, the battery life is only 4 hours and will be the downfall of this unit, there has already been alerts not to buy the piece
I have mentioned in 2 previous post, that someone is lining their pockets and it's not us
If it weren't for matt i would still be in the jailhouse, thanks matt for letting me out 3 weeks early:) your a good ole boy:)
Hi everyone I hope I don't make a mess out of myself on this board:) Now if you pardon me I have to get back to the closing for with 40mins left
